Trying to run an .exe from within pdf

I am trying to run an executable file from within a pdf.  I get the error "This file is set to be launched by this pdf file.  This is currently disallowed by your administrator."  Error box is labeled "acrobat.exe"
Using:  Adobe Acrobat 9 pro
Windows 7
This has worked with previous versions of Acrobat, is it still possible to do?

This is disallowed for security reasons.
See the "attachment configuration" section at : http://learn.adobe.com/wiki/display/security/Application+Security+Library to change this behavior.

  • Running an exe from within Oracle WebLogic 10g R3 does not find dll

    Hi,
    I am facing a strange issue with Oracle WebLogic 10g R3.
    I use the code as shown in Listing 1 below to run a windows based application exe (batch job) from within my web application hosted on Oracle WebLogic 10g Release 3.
    Note that this code woks fine on Tomcat 6.x and OC4J (JDeveloper TP4).
    The exec gets executed but the log of the exe program shows it could not load certain DLLs.
    Note that these DLLs are in the same directoy as the Batch program and this directory is in the PATH.
    Running through simple Java Program Successful*
    When I run the same program from a java program it runs successfully. So this means some WebLogic environment does not get set properly.
    Running directly BatchProg.exe rather than cmd.exe fails*
    Also note that when I run the exe directly e.g. BatchProg.exe rather than through cmd.exe it gives me a error the system did not find the file specified.
    CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified with cause java.io.IOException: CreateProcess error=2, The system cannot find the file specified
    Listing 1:*
    String[] commandArgs = new String[|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/] { "cmd.exe", "/C", "BatchProg.exe \"param1\" \"param2\" " },null , l_workingDir)
    Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
    Process proc;
    proc = rt.exec( commandArgs, envParams, workingDir );
    ProcessIO errStream = new ProcessIO( proc.getErrorStream(), "ERROR");
    ProcessIO outStream = new ProcessIO( proc.getInputStream(), "OUTPUT");
    errStream.start(); // process any errors from the command
    outStream.start(); // process any output from the command
    System.out.println("Error=" +errStream);
    System.out.println("Out" + outStream);
    return (p_waitToFinish ? proc.waitFor() : this.SUCCESS);

    OK.
    I have posted this on the WebLogic Forum.
    Thanx.

  • My company blocks executables from running in the Temp folder. How can I install Firefox without it trying to run download.exe from a temp folder?

    I found a workaround for the problem of not being able to run executables from the Temp folder.
    I happened upon the Full Firefox installer download page. I downloaded the full installer and used WinRar to extract the downloaded file to a folder then I could run setup.exe and Firefox installed successfully.
    Please publish the link to the full Firefox installer on the same page where the stub installer is published.
    Thank you.

    Hello,
    Full installers can always be downloaded here:
    * https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
    I am assuming you went to this page:
    * https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/
    I notice the page has changed a little from the last time I saw it, but you can reach the first link I posted by clicking "Systems & Languages".

  • Calling startrfc.exe from within a vbs script

    Hello, can someone help me please
    I am trying to process xml idocs into SAP on a Windows 2008 server. I have written a vbs script to process the file and am trying to call STARTRFC.EXE from within the vbs script. However I keep getting an error that it cannot open the file. The code is shown below. I have changed the server name and gateway and user/passwd for security. I'm passing the filename as a variable (str_expfile) but it does not seem to be able to extract the actual file name from the variable. I know from past experience that you can pass it variables if its running on a unix box and in a shell. But for some reason it not decipering the variable name in the vbs script
    Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
    str_startrfc = "D:\usr\sap\SID\SYS\exe\uc\NTAMD64\startrfc.exe -d SID -3 -h hostname -s 00 -g hostname -x sapgw00 -u user -p passwd -c 100 -l EN -t -F EDI_DATA_INCOMING -E PORT=MYPORT -E PATHNAME=str_expfile"
    objShell.Run str_startrfc, ,True
    The error I'm getting is shown below:
    ERROR file opened at 20110510 134219 GMT Daylight Time, SAP-REL 700,0,278 RFC-VER 3 1200864 MT-SL

    Thanks
    Regards
    Steve

    Hi Markus
    Unfortunately I can't do that because I need it to process hundreds of files one after another and I would have to hard code the file path each time. That's why I need it automated.
    Can startrfc.exe not take a variable for the pathname in a vb script? It works fine in a unix shell. We are migrating from unix to windows and I need to convert all my unix scripts into vb scripts.
    I notice there is a nother rfc type program available, can I use rfcexec.exe instead of startrfc.exe and would it take variables?
    Thanks
    Regards
    Steve

  • I cannot uninstall Firefox, either through Control Panel Add/Remove or by running helper.exe from Program Files.

    Nothing happens when I click on REMOVE for Mozilla Firefox from the Add/Remove screen of Control Panel. I then tried to run helper.exe from the Mozilla Firefox folder in Program Files, but that wouldn't run either. Any suggestions?

  • Request to run updater.exe from an unknown publisher starting firefox

    every time Firefox is started from initial turn on of computer (not from the computer being hibernated or in sleep mode), I receive a message to run Updater.exe from an Unknown Publisher. There is nothing to show that this is a Firefox application but, I am not receiving any threat messages either. Is there any way to find out where this Updater is coming from and if it is to be trusted?

    Do you use a Norton security suite? If so, I suggest checking with Norton's support on whether that prompt is legitimate.
    You will find numerous unofficial distributors advertising on Google for Firefox downloads. These generally are bundles of crap along with Firefox. You should check to make sure you don't have such a thing installed.
    Open the Windows '''Control Panel''', Uninstall a Program. After the list loads, click the "Installed on" column heading to group the infections, I mean, additions, by date. This can help surface undisclosed bundle items that snuck in with some software you agreed to install. Take out as much trash as possible here.
    You can supplement your regular security software with the '''scanning/cleaning tools''' listed in our support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]. These on-demand scanners are free and take considerable time to run. If they finish quickly and especially if they require payment, you may have a serious infection. I suggest the specialized forums listed in the article in that case.
    Does that help?

  • Win2000 NoClassDefFoundError running java.exe from DOS prompt

    I am using Windows 2000 with J2SE v 1.3.1_02 and have a problem when I run java.exe from the command line for classes that are defined to be in a package. I can both compile and run this program from the TextPad editor but when I run it from a DOS prompt I get the error "Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: MyClass"
    My CLASSPATH is set to D:\
    The files MyClass.java and MyClass.class are in the directory D:\MyProject
    here is the source:
    package MyProject;
    public class MyClass
         public static void main(String[] args)
              System.out.println("MyClass main");
    Note that if I comment out the package statement and add "." to CLASSPATH then it runs from the DOS prompt. Why does the program run from inside TextPad but not from the DOS prompt? Seems to be some type of bug in java.exe on Windows 2000 when the keyword package is used.

    It turns out that if you use the main method in a class that declares the package statement you need to use the fully qualified name to run the program. Using this statement works for this problem:
    java MyProject/MyClass
    the forward slash is required even though is a Windows system.

  • Exception CX_RS_ERROR occurred when trying to run the DTP from Cube

    Hi everyone,
    I've run the DTP &  loaded the cube using normal transformation routines , it works fine in the Dev Sys but not in quality & production. I've access only to the Dev sys. In Qual & Prod when trying to run the DTP from Cube to open HUB
    we're getting the following error
    Exception CX_RS_ERROR occurred (program: CL_RSTRAN_TRFN================CP, include: CL_RSTRAN_TRFN================CM024*
    My system support package level is SAPKW70106.
    I've found note 920338 but is for SAPKW70107.

    Hi,
    The issue seems to be with the one of the routines in the transformation and similar kind of the issues were solved by retransporting the DTP & the related transformation.
    Kindly reactivate the DTP and transformation in the source and execute a new request to transport the DTP, transformation and related routines to Quality & Production again.
    Hope this helps.
    Rgds,

  • Running unix commands from within a procedure

    Oracle 11.1, AIX 6.1
    ================
    A developer would like to know what the commands are to execute from within a procedure to run unix commands on the database server and capture those results back to the procedure for parsing & manipulation.
    Thanks.

    Don't take this as the correct way to do it, but this is merely 'a' way to do it:
    have a db procedure thats executes a db function
    create or replace procedure csproc(p_cmd in varchar2)
    as
    x number;
    begin
    x:=csfunc(p_cmd);

    create or replace function csfunc( p_cmd  in varchar2) return number

    /Here is the java class to run the os command
    create or replace and compile java source

           BufferedInputStream bis =
           new BufferedInputStream(p.getInputStream(), bufSize);
           int len;
           byte buffer[] = new byte[bufSize];
           // Echo back what the program spit out
           while ((len = bis.read(buffer, 0, bufSize)) != -1)
              System.out.write(buffer, 0, len);
           rc = p.waitFor();
        catch (Exception e)

  • Problem running Acrobat.exe from acrobat plugin in IE

    hi,
    In another discussion, regarding signing pdf in Internet explorer, i am awaiting a reply to a very imp question. In the mean time, asuming that it cannot be done in a standard way, as we have used PDDoc allover the plugin and in IE PDDoc is only accessible in callback methods, i have tried to implement a work around, where i save the PDF to local disk and open it in acrobat.exe.
    i do the following:
    Register for PDDocDidOpen notification.
    In PDDocDidOpen notification i save the AVDoc globally for later use.
    then in IdleHandler callback, i use the globally save AVDoc to call PDDocSave() method to save the online pdf to local disk.
    and in the PDDocDidSave() callback i use shellexecute to opend acrobat.exe to open the newly saved PDF.
    Problem:    The shellexecute opens up acrobat.exe showing the newly saved file, but if i click the empty field in the PDF or press any button, acrobat.exe crashes.
    I have tried placing shellexecute in differenct callbacks but no success.
    here is the shell execute.
    ShellExecute(NULL, "open", "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Adobe\\Acrobat 10.0\\Acrobat\\Acrobat.exe", "d:\\test.pdf", NULL, SW_SHOWNORMAL);
    I have opened a different pdf than the newly saved one instead, but still the crash exists.
    Do u have any idea what i might be doing wrong.

    As you can see (a) Source files exist(b) DNG command line runs without generating an error (c) no output files in destination.
    DNG Converter did not run.
    If I remove everything after the command (i.e. the parameter list stuff) it fires up DNG Converter in interactive mode. Not what I'm after.
    Any other thoughts on what the problem is?
    Thank you.

  • Run an .exe from Portal?

    I'm new to Portal and was trying to find out if it is possible to run an exe on a wintell box from portal via a button or link? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Hi,
    you can only do this if the file is in a directory that is accessable through explorer.
    then, if you create a batch file that runs the exe file. you can create a hyperlink to the explorer address of the batch file.
    exe files will ask if you want to download or run, bat files just run.
